ABOUT THIS ALBUM

Album Notes

Originally a remix project, dadala has evolved into a more band-like entity; a "long-distance ensemble" operating outside the usual chain of cause and effect and straddling dualities: live or collage, "intentional" vs. "coincidence", improvised/composed, familiar and strange.

Key to the emergence of this new dadala are the additions of two new members joining dadala originator RDunlap and long-time contributor Johann Meier (Jopy): sonic alchemist and digital wizard Loopy C and multi-instrumentalist Frank Dunlap. Loopy C contributes a vast universe of sounds, techniques and concepts and Frank Dunlap brings the visceral immediacy of instrumental improvisation and experimentation. On 'Spaghetti Wall' these four core members are also joined by guest artist Billy Shaw, and old friend of dadala returning with tenor sax on 3 tracks.
